Prenatals

At what point do we stop taking prenatal vitamins? Right when baby is born? Or if we breastfeed, do we continue taking them during that time? I have a drugstore gift certificate I need to use and was thinking about stocking up :)

    My SIL is still taking hers, and her daughter is almost 2! But they are also trying to have another one, so I think she's just kept it up to be on the safe side. I'd double check with your OB

    When I last saw my gyno before I started TTC, she told me I should take prenatals until I'm done breastfeeding.

    Take prenatals as long as you breastfeed. They contain the extra vitamins that the baby will deplete from your body while you breastfeed.

    I continued taking them the whole 10 months I breastfed, and since we knew we would be TTC again soon after his 1st bday I just never stopped taking them.

    Take them through breastfeeding. There are so many good things in them I will probably just continue taking them daily even after breastfeeding.

    Me too, I will probably just continue to take them after I'm done breastfeeding, instead of switching back to a regular multi-vitamin.

    They say to continue taking them while you breast-feed. Or at least you should take a similar multi-vitamin.

    The bottles usually say to take them through BFing.

    I personally am insane, and have been taking prenatals since I got married in case we had an "oops" baby (no such luck). So I probably will be taking them until we're done having kiddoes.
